Sorry, I am bit late to post this recipe. Kuli appam / Sweet appam is a traditional sweet made from rice, jaggery, cardamom, coconut and ghee. In this appam recipe, I used mashed banana which gives softness and nice taste to the appam.This nei appam is a easy sweet recipe prepared during festival occasions like karthigai deepam and krishna jayanthi. This appam was soft and delicious and we loved it very much. So do try this unniappam recipe and enjoy :-):-)
